"constitutions" poems
Civilized life is rigged, O land-dwellers! With landmines hidden in trails of Society's doctrine, 'Too often is it stepped on, Too often does it explode.' Blowing constitutions to smithereens, Where you then rummage within your nucleus to piece together your scattered jigsaw, Misplacing your natural elements, Overcasting your ability to side with beauteous aspects in simplicity— Of those ethereal-resplendent butterflies. Disillusioned on land thus is you (the complex you). Let go— Rise above your materialistic graves— Walk on air! My kindred wisps Walk on air!

Society-a-Landmine
The beauty of comatose can only be seen through the eyes of a wizard in a blizzard strutting in garlic slippers, or Christ with knees bent at the tabernacle peeling bananas and kicking prayers farther than eternity with each gapping second, or like Basquiat slumped back to the wall, with ounces of speedball dancing through his veins, eating 80’s free-based fried chicken *******   as his eyelids paints beautiful nightmares of lemon flowers and Bacchus bacon over a glycopyrrolate desert of flagrant cuckold buffoonery. Or like leprechauns burning chocolate ******* candles on the mantle of Zion, sipping oatmeal sprinkled with Staten Island malt liquor bacon. or like Tupac reading the thoughts of Mother Shipton through the daze of California cannabis and hearing the ominous voice of Plutarch sing death assignments from heaven to Assassins on horsebacks goggling ***** water to wet the dry bones of their throats as they prepare to fulfill the gospel of self-fulfilling prophecies of being fell by ***** bullets. Or like sophisticated wallets of spice and kitchen characters in a bald head cooking chemical kisses and 18 February nights under Moloch’s skin, where constitutions are written in charcoal diaries with Egyptian ciphers and razors. “I had rain sowed into the pockets of my sneakers and composed 1310 eulogies at the basement of king David’s tower,” said the Kraftwerkian caricature, as he dangles cigarettes in remembrance of Klaus Nomi and philosophizes on the proliferation of poetic vandalism at urinals where modernism failed under the phosphorescence of coloration at the avenue of no trees where Picasso's "Guernica" **** Lies All.

Evil & crime so predictable & stale. Stupid how arrested suspects get bail. Convicted when their victims tell. Prison is where some stay & are jailed. They have to communicate by mail. Sometimes their focus goes in another direction. Where probation happens after correction. Child & spousal abuse, drug use, & rehab that is no use. History repeats Wives & children still get beat. Their isn't always a Superman or Batman to be your hero. With a sword or crossbow. Details of armed robbery , drug dealing & smuggling. Stabbings & muggings. On the inside homosexual love with cuddling. Human trafficking & prostitution. Violating amendments & constitutions. They are how they are from how they were raised. If their victims could speak from the grave Or had they been saved. They could explain & describe how their rapists & killers behaved. Male & females do their time. Years in custody for their crimes. Seriousness of their offenses vary. Some educate, get jobs, or marry. Behind bars is where violence belongs. To be punished for all that they did wrong. Some from death row are now dead. Similar to the wildlife in a zoo behind bars they get fed.

Darkness Prevails
By Joseph Childress “Habeus corpus!!!” Yelled in court From some youngin’ In the back row As he rose With a roll of parchment The constitution laid dead in his hold . A gleam seen in the judge’s eyes As he glances, quickly Behind glasses While guards escort The disrupter of courts To the unknown . All hail the corpse of freedom! Warranted from the lack of warnings All hell: The corporate companies cooperating In coup d’etats Disguised as peace keepings Offering the Sacrificial kings of Africa Offing the Head of state In a distasteful display of feardom Fear dominates The war on terrorism Military minions pillage the dominions Of the defenseless The final blow Screams Like the Final Call In the falling of an empire Protesters test the unrest And spread Words That are read In the weaving of our future Detention Sit-ins for those who Speak during class warfare Constitutions re-written To constitute illegal imprisonment Of free Speakers, Thinkers, And believers Citizens find it harder To not pay attention When the war in the Middle East Is fought in America Patriotic Acts to enact Unpatriotic actions That exact Hate on the coward-less fraction Surveillanced As if ass-kissing will ever be in option They’re warning us To stay sleep with the rest Those who awake Will meet a force Worse Than the crusades As they raid the houses Of our brothers, sisters, and Controversial, conspiracy contriving cousins They will come Like thieves in the night To undue The debt due to society The battle begins, And the Martyrs are ready.

By a day's difference, and a night's indifference...angelic flight looses evasion what was embrace. The repose of memory blighted by forgetfulness...seven constitutions ago that personified the goodly week of creation. Incontinent, now...to All Things small that were big. Admonished whole by the changeable-- thou fairest...unwell. Supping thy chinny chin chin--with world-wearied, and wearying palms... overgrow The Garden in hopes it may obscure The Fall.

REMEMBER
I am on the front of a beach, a seas exit or entrance. There was a feeling of superficiality in my vision, and my conception. The waves, ** The keepers of the fleeting see on the soon-to-be-night tide. They were so subtle as to loosen me in placidity, a melting hypnosis of crashes and slides. Thus was the nature of my moment with god. I was thus, thus was thus, thus was truth, god was truth, and the moment was god. And oh, what a season, of fire and explosions, of the heat of summer and the love of the summers warmth, in the night that blew a silver wind in the moonlight, and the days that would either burn your skin, or tan it, depending upon constitutions. And depending upon the angle of the eyes, one could see the beauty of either the blades of grass, where there is no single blade, or the golden-sun dusk that was the most beautiful red, orange, blue, violet, becoming deeper as every memory of the day passes with the sun for new memories to take their place. And I will sit and wonder at the new sky, the freckled face of the drawn beauty, made demure, made to endure, though the moon gets smaller, though the day seems longer, though slept through. I will sit and wonder, until the darkness fades, the silver turns molten; the freckles turn pure blue, the true colors of his natural shyness. Just then, the day seemed like the beach, a seas exit or entrance. There was a beauty in the ever foreseen sorrows of the future. Where the time became a fortune telling bell that, even the dulled mind, could hear and know where the tune was going. So as far as the ghastly face of death was concerned, we thought she was a beauty, a dancer at the ball, where infinity, god, oblivion, and me where fixed upon her her, as she was the spitting image of the beach, a seas exit or an entrance.

Things blow up People throw up And then walk on A land mine When they talk on A landline I try to enjoy myself But enjoyment has stealth And eludes Which secludes Happiness hides Behind sentinel shrapnel That makes us abide The rules of this flat Hell There are frequent explosions in my mind They are sequenced implosions through time I have poor explanations For my inflammations My hands fumble My brain crumbles Progress is lost That's the cost Frustration cooks From holy books And constitutions That can't be changed Or rearranged So we're gridlocked in an explosion In Hell's fruitless fire we are frozen Explosions dot the planet like acne Humanity has no choice except to get older Sharing information is our main asset yet we grow colder We must evolve together We're doomed to be tethered So we must gel To avoid Hell There are monsters in our midst In our mind is where they sit We must expel them together Or we'll be exploding forever

Simple words wrapped around stagnant constitutions written for half *** revolution. There will be no more Zach and Sineigh. No more Signature graveyards. No more Percocet 30. A real lose, lose. Shame in what I miss most. Square one. Basic education on top middle class foundation. Teased by a girl eating off China. Rules enforced by the best case scenario.

Shame-man
The stylus is more potent than the dirk they say You don't fail to make a mark even when picked up by a dilettante everyday Esoteric idioms your masters make you write While the poignant sentences you write come only late in the night Someday you are in the hands of the who's who of the town The other days you spend in the hands of a clown You come clad in plastic,platinum,silver and gold With different coloured lifelines-blue,black,red,green and pink And a plethora of stories you keep clandestine and untold A travesty you make of the fools and to the prudent you make think With every word you write, you pant for breath And when your heart stops beating, they mark it as your death(end of a refill) You can be cryptic, there's no one stopping You can be acerbic even with beauty on the outside(the beauty of the letters) From the Treaty of Versailles to the varied pompous constitutions penned, you've always left me shocking Blessed be the hands that cradle you and take the ride(ride of the writing) You take them through the best roller-coaster journey of words Bringing out the inexplicable happiness be it just the lyre of the birds A predilection i have for you, for you engender the best in me I know I'd always have you in the middle of a dark chilled night come what may be Its you whom i turn to with my querulous platitudes And you furnish me the answers with a benevolent smile and gratitude Its you who defines me, for i am nothing but an amorphous mould Still learning when to be bold and when to feel cold.

The United States of America has never been a democracy. Our Constitution, drafted and ratified in 1787, legalized slavery in all 13 nascent States. Eight of our presidents were slaveholders, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who owned more the 600 slaves. Though the 13th Amendment legally abolished slavery in 1865, the KKK , founded also in 1865, began to flourish in the Deep South when U. S. troops were recalled in 1877. White Supremacists used a vicious range of deterrents to keep Blacks from voting:  Deep South State constitutions and laws;  poll taxes;  literacy tests;  the "grandfather clause";  and outright intimidation, including lynchings that occurred at their peak from 1890 to 1920. Today, Trump supporters have swept through almost all State legislatures "legalizing" myriad ways to keep minorities from voting, as well as other ways to invalidate their votes. In addition to brutalizing Blacks throughout our nation's history, we must not forget the genocide perpetrated by our government against indigenous peoples who had populated the continent for millennia, culminating between 1860 and 1890 with the coup de grace of Wounded Knee. "Manifest Destiny" was not democracy. It was manifest inhumanity. TOD HOWARD HAWKS

THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
a hawk without feathers, skin, hollow bones, its avianness severed by the wickedness it knows, it sits upon a house, the house that's always stood, (by the cave with the painted walls, after the massacre of the neanderthals; by the agora, where the voting took place, in sight of which they signed constitutions and other contracts in black typeface; by the workplace; by the banks; downtown, between the metal-glass towers, footpath from it to the corridors of power) out of time, it is: a Wormwood, where men gather to unaffix themselves from the good. the hawk has eyes of malice, it watches as you come to the door, inside, it smells of money, might and phosphor us.

Well then lets take a gamble get the **** off my cloud I'm shoutin' proud from here to Blackpool Let's have a party yeah that's cool, so where's the pedestal? I'm like a statue frozen in motion action shot, I'm not posin' but I'm proposin' if we cut the **** and get them flows in and everyone is bouncin' then we can turn this house in Inside out, it's about, the beat, the love, the flow, that steals, the show, if you don't know what I've been told then I suggest you let it go "Where is my invite?

Used to be a dream Streets paved of gold The fire of liberty Land of opportunity Used to be a dream But scheme on scheme Of madmen's design Sticking to a party line I watched that fire As a child I watched that fire dying Smouldering embers and ashes From sea to shining sea Used to be a dream But changing constitutions Loopholes for the wealthy Wage slaves and poverty Used to be a dream When an eagle flying Symbolized what could be good In the world I watched that eagle As I child I watched that eagle starving From amber waves of grain To purple mountains majesty Used to be a dream But we were all asleep And when we woke up We found america Divided and failing

man emerges from this darksome ether. this: time suspended in the ballpark, without fetters. i have dreamt the truth of my vicarious call. is it not that my measures secure these constitutions of ineffable fruitions? it is likened to our heartland's acrimonies: dreaming in the misty vale of sleep is the word and its insistent void, riddled by amorous intent of barefaced realisms. there is nothing here but subservience of fantasy's burlesque fanfare on broad vaudeville. man sinks into the bottom of this, rests in the soft hands of this earth-woven word - a poem's importunate nativity where all supremacies are born ceaselessly!

Supremacy Of Words
I've seen my life form a birds eye view So small, so mundane , so insignificant. I've viewed others lives ,moves by cues, Hollow emotions through the daily regiment. These edifices hearding us on the road of repetition and mediocrity We are a species with amnesia, What truly has changed since the era of Socrates? We have only learned how to live in decadence and leisure. We have weapons of mass destruction Falsely reasoned as mass protection We have fast foods but still people go hungry. We repeat our mistakes again and again what is that? Insanity. A kin to 1+1=2 If we do not change we are doomed. When those in power forever pass the buck And teach us how to but are angry when we do What the **** Procrastinating whilst in need of revolution Making problems that have nearly no solutions Outdated tuition Weak constitutions The line between order and chaos is hazy What will you do "We leave the rest to you.." Be honest you are just lazy

It always looks better on paper Drug mules You'll be carrying a huge amount of drugs from point A to point B and then you'll get paid handsomely after they're done renting out space in your ******* You need not be worried You need not see this You need not be here Get back to your horticultural ventures Cavities in your bicuspids They are oblong and plentiful In terms of shapes and numbers Moreover, the riddles are almost always to some degree atomic But more often than not the outgoing ones refuse to falter When asked to recite the table of elements Or give a heartwarming speech about social ecology Yet the quiet ones are known to surprise us Some can give you the recipe for the best hossenfeffer you'll ever have Some can make a record that is demanded to be put on constant replay Or have a deep conversation with a lifelong grouch and have roaring fit of laughter as an outcome Then there are the horses who are lead to water but die of thirst Who are baffled with the question, "what is the difference between Taylor ham, pork roll and Canadian bacon? And can never figure out the complex algorithms For they are cursed with weak constitutions "This is just another poem" My sentiments exactly

Just Another Poem
Don't let me be acquaintance ancestry. Celestial bodies deny me peace, hidden behind moonlight white sheets and skyscraper evidence markers. But I, advice malnourished, recede among the intangible tangents of lesser-used thoughts. I let the shadows take me because maybe they should have a long time ago and I was too scared to let them out of my veins, let the crack from my neck leak the demons and my trust. Don't let me be predisposed possibility, never so whole as seraphs and satanists, guided by singularity. My lives were revolutions, made up of weaker constitutions encapsulated, a prescription purpose that guides me past milligram monument men braver than I was, but already marble ghosts. Let me be the helpful dream, the stitcher of seams; it seems the tie is torn too much, the threads thrown astray like things lost in space, too tangled to discern the strongest way to reinforce the conclusion of my weakness. Let me be the used-to-be, the once-was boy who could never see. Blindness is a condition I accept willingly, and deafness with it, and warmth's retreat. Let me be cold, forgotten gold buried beneath a tombstone treasure map. Let me go.

Don't Let Me Be
by Arcassin Burnham ....Then again there are the evils, longing to know what's been on your mind, you don't owe me anything, how can we go without knowing, knowing, if you were to know first hand, it would not be as pretty, I guess life is not as pretty as you would like it to be, everything is not in perfect symmetry, only our purpose to live and then one day in up in a Cemetery, you don't owe me anything, I provide order to those who are lost in the mist of confusion, burning bridges and exposing illegal constitutions, you do the math, cause we're all just numbers, walking the earth with iron fists, even the weak, you can fight the good fight with words, as long as you speak, this might have been the best thing I ever wrote, but knowing you, you'll end up judging, I don't owe you anything.

"...As You Would Like"
Don't let me be acquaintance ancestry. Celestial bodies deny me peace, your sensitivities shielded by a moonlight sheet, picketed by skyscraper evidence markers. They died from lust for light, broken trust and fright. I'm looking for the inevitable morgue. I, malnourished of day, recede among the intangible tangents of lesser-used thoughts. I let the shadows take me because... they should have a long time ago and I was too scared to let them out of my veins, let the abstract crack on my neck leak demons and my trust. Don't let me be predetermined possibility, never so whole as seraphs and satanists, guided by singularity. My lives were revolutions, guided by weaker constitutions encapsulating a prescription purpose that tours me past milligram monument men, marble ghosts braver than I am. Let me be the helpful dream, the stitcher of seams; it seems the tie is torn too much, the threads too thrown astray, too tangled to discern the strongest chain, the strongest way to reinforce the conclusion of my weakness. Let me be the used-to-be, the once-was boy who could never see. Blindness is a condition I accept willingly, and deafness with it, and old warmth's retreat. Let me be cold, forgotten gold, less a frozen dawn than a synapse half-way gone buried down beneath a tombstone treasure map with an epitaph two decades long and footnote dates. I never liked dates, smoke breaks, moments that persist longer than they should, like I have.

Though I lead a new tomorrow With a pioneer's resolve I find that Someday I still follow In its footsteps of the settler's Beaten paths of sorrow Tread upon by kings of old Who tear my flag to tatters As they colonize my soul Then rip my constitutions up   In favor fortunes stoled Profiting from trails we blaze Through fields of labor slaves Which begs the question arms to raise And manifests my destiny In fifty shades of Shay's No more to pave the streets I've seen All walks of life share brave and free Dead-ended by the God machine Whose forked-road tongues divide these signs To boulevards of broken dreams Yes this is where we will declare The carnage of the despot's sword To common man's, can not compare The power of the people's word Is any tyrant's worst nightmare So wall us up in torture cells You can't contain our minds   Abort the right to wedding bells Love, like truth, can not be killed By pockets full of shells Unloaded in a hail of liar Mass control of information Molotov cocktails conspire To stockpile human lives To serve the evil empire As storm troopers deployed To combat the invasion Of the aliens employed By the Death Star super weapons That will leave all worlds destroyed When the facts are sold as fictions That the junkies overdose on As they pay for these afflictions No one covers in this system They just feed zombie addictions That divide us into factions In this race of arming fear and hate With masterful distractions Misconstruing civil wars With patriotic actions

it is awfully romantic to imagine that we do not hold yesterday's values in our back pockets to think we never held these values to someone else's temple the barrels of our guns do not light every limb of our family trees we are lying if we tell you our ancestors wanted the white house to be home to a brown boy rage no longer pumps through our veins but it sneaks through the holes in our understanding, we are still responsible and it is awfully romantic that we sing songs of freedom from oppression in spite of the fear of the woman walking down the sidewalk in the middle of the day leave love notes in our constitutions after the letters "P.S." whisper promises to minorities that things will be better then strike them down declaring we've done enough it's not enough it is awfully romantic to believe none of this is relevant anymore the only relevance of gender is what pronouns to use the only relevance of skin is our lover's wrapped up in ours but we are not a love story even when we want to be this is not a love letter it is an apology
